Notes

For substitutions, if you don’t have mango, use papaya or pineapple. Instead of shrimp, grilled chicken or tofu can work well.
To keep avocados from browning, brush them with lime juice before assembling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container; consume within 24 hours for best texture. Avoid freezing, as it affects the quality of the ingredients.
Use high-quality, ripe ingredients for the best flavor. Enjoy this salad fresh for optimal taste and presentation!
